Got rear ended. Need a list for the shop

Whelp, she's definitely back on the road. I'll throw up a pic of the new bumper when I get home later on but it looks pretty sharp.

Too many St patties beverages urged me to try a way too aggressive launch. Fresh alignment turned into toe going out more than 1.7 on each side. Got her all straightened out this morning hah.

left was 2.06 and right was 1.79. Sitting at .08 and .06 now

I got pulled over by a PA trooper a few months back, he passed me doing 90, I said **** it I'm in a hurry too, I followed him for a few miles then he pulled me over and asked why I was going so fast. I told him he wasn't the only one in a hurry and I didn't see his blue lights on like he had anywhere to be, just figured you were the pace car for those of us that had shit to do.



Somehow I got off with a warning and he said they're not required to use their lights unless in dense traffic or in a high population area.

I once got "certified" to drive a patrol car at 130mph on the highways to check for some overheating issues at that speed. Most fun I ever had diagnosing 3 cars lmao

 

[WVRigrat05]

Lol, that would be a blast, not to mention legal, best of both worlds.

When my uncle was Chief he let me take his car on an errand one day after he blocked mine in the driveway. I wasn't speeding, just flying too low... I sped up when I'd see a cop... they never even flinched. :roflmao:

Yeah, mine was doing that, not even launching, put some bigger stuff on and it don't do it now.

 

[oscyjack]

Its all pretty much the biggest haha. Unbraced though and stock centerlink. Everything else is well beefed. Time to yank the leveling keys hah.

I knew you'd like that one mr destructo

 

[WVRigrat05]

Lol, remember the nylon brand bass tracker toy trucks? Yep, I tore the hell out of them too, my grandparents loved it.

 

[oscyjack]

Best tires I've ever seen were plastic with owl nylint lmao. now that I think of it, it was the same dark red as the dirty lol

 

[oscyjack]

I remember the days of power sliding the old power wheels haha. Got escorted home once as a little guy after taking one on a main road to get ice cream. I didn't know at the time you needed money to buy ice cream, and unchanged from today I thought the streets belonged to me. Probably my first brush with the 5-0

 

[WVRigrat05]

Lmao, I loved those things, my dad put two 12v batteries on it and that thing hauled ass.

 

[oscyjack]

Lmao I always wondered what would happen with more juice on one of those. I looked at a new version for my nephew and the things are like $800 with tainted Chinese lead plastic. Decided I'd rather build him a go cart. Have an old walker 20hp laying around the shed I was gonna use. Might have to govern it tho cuz that mower chewed up more grass moving than it mowed.

Reg you still on stock center link out of curiosity?

Honda motors on go carts make them go faster. They turn up a few more RPM's than briggs.

I would probably get in trouble if allowed to build a cart as it would probably have a 5 speed and 600cc bike engine on it......

No, the centerlink was the first thing I swapped, then tie rods and gusset, and then pitman/idler (lots of them) and I ordered some braces, still in the garage to put on for just in case, finally got the front end under control I think.

 

[oscyjack]

What are you running with the rare parts tie rods?

 

[WVRigrat05]

Yeah, the g2's.

 

[oscyjack]

I mean for a centerlink sorry

 

[WVRigrat05]

I mean for a centerlink sorry

Crank it up diesel centerlink, btw, you can bend them, I bent the one on my LLY and lawnboy01 had this one on his pulling truck and guess what, bent just like my first one was.

Kinda hard to do, and they only bent 1/16" but they budge.

Any thoughts on empire engeering? In general or specifics. They've got one for a good price, have seen a few of their videos but none of their products. I'm glad there are options to avoid PPE and dmaxstore
